# Harris is sworn in as San Francisco district attorney

Date: 2004

## The fact

In January 2004 [Kamala Harris](/people/kamala-harris) became San Francisco district attorney after winning the 2003 election.

## Context

Neighbouring truancy 2008 is a child policy.

Truancy 2008 is a child. AG 2010 is later.

The Vice President of the United States presides over the Senate, casts tie-breaking votes, and carries delegated [White House](/organizations/white-house) portfolios. She does not write House bills, CBP operational orders, or Federal Reserve rate decisions. A vice president is not co-author of every presidential statute.

## Evidence and sources

San Francisco District Attorney carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed local election into a charging office is a dated rotation instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2004 start of her DA term after the 2003 election, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later crime coefficient from the oath, or that every later California DA was this campaign.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

She took the office. Police and courts shared the system.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Harris is sworn in as San Francisco district attorney, not a later speech about Harris is sworn in as San Francisco district attorney.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Harris is sworn in as San Francisco district attorney on 2004-12-01 is not a licence to treat every later San Francisco District Attorney communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Harris is sworn in as San Francisco district attorney into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Voters elected. She took the office. Police and courts shared the system. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
